.shaft .16' is usually continuous, comprising two yverticall legs joined aty their bottom by a horizontal leg. Y

The beaters 14 Yand 15 carry upon.v their upper ends the gears" 17 and 18. Inmy .1m. proved vconstrueion one of thesej'gears ,isv supported in a. horizontal plane above ,the other and the teeth of thegears.extend'in`- wardly towards each .other .and overlap.

The vertical leg 9 efthe beater'trameis providedwith an inward 0E-set 19, the purpose oit whichr will be hereinafter described.

Thebeaters 14 andlfare driventhrough a n vertically mountedfdrive gear 20:.which is rotatably supportedvuponfa rivet`v 21 or the like which penetrates'the inward Aof-,set`19 to the verticaldrivegear 20.

Oaeetrermts the f Vlythrough and mesh with `the gears 17 and 1S of the beaters. To insure that the teeth ofgthevertical drive gear 2O do not strike 'the bottom l2 oit the frame` the bottoni is crimped downwardly at and Slto permit tree rotation of this gear. Y

rlhe handle 25 is provided with a common torni oi hand or linger hold 85.

Attention is directed to the Ylact that I have provided a beater in which the supporting trame for the beater mechanism has two vertical legs.

The iframe is lorined oit an integral piece. Due to this construction great rigidity is given to the beater which adds greatly to the liiae and durability ot the mechanism. i

The simplicity7 of mounting the vertical drive gear and attaching the drive gear handle makes for cheapness Vof manufacture.

The manner of attaching the drive gear handle is such as to make the handle attachment liini and durable.

The construction of the drive gear'Q() is very simple and cheap oit manufact-ure. Due to the fact that the beater gears overlap one another it is possible to provide the simple elongated gear teeth 32 ofV the drive gear. It is not necessary7 to give any pitch to these gear teeth and this gear adds to the cheapness and simplicity of manufacture.

A comparison ot my improved beater with those double type of beaters now on the market will disclose the fact that a minimum number of parts are used in producing my device. The advantage of a small numloer of parts is obvious.

The use of my particular frame makes it unnecessary to provide any additional bracing or strengthening means between the beaters and theholding handle 7, as is so often found in devices designed for the same purpose as my own. t {Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to protectJ by Letters Patent is: i
